ok heres the story,

i have a mildly modified r33 s2 gtst, i have a after market ecu that still runs the stock afm, a few days ago i replaced my metal mesh pod filter which was quite large to a signifacntly smaller apexi one, i think this may have something to do with it.

when i drove to work yesterday morning (5am) the car was fine, but on the way home about 4pm the car was sputtering abit and eventually stalled, luckily outside my house, i drove the car later that night for a short period and it was ok again.

the same thing happened today except i didnt make home, i was able to restart the car after i let it cool for a minute but only for a few seconds, and then the problem repeats itself, heat seems to be a factor here but thats about all i can come up with at the moment.

i will replace the old pod filter asap but that may not be possible for a few days

any suggestions ???

pod filter will not cause this, unless its clogged to buggery, The issue may be however the AFM, somehow during your swapping for filters you might have damaged the AFM possible or got some dirt on the hot wire element, Try spraying this with carby cleaner or brake cleaner.

SOunds like CAS, they tend to play up when hot. Check the AFM is plugged in properly, could be ramdom fuel pump failure, what computer is it?

the computer is a hks f-con s, i had a nismo fuel pump put in about 10,000 km ago, excuse my lack of knowledge but what is CAS. it is possible i have damaged the afm but why does it work sometimes and not others?

I could almost bet it is your plugs playing up.......

My nephews car would just stop....he would have to wait until it cooled down

then drive it back home...lol

I replaced his plugs...and presto....no more stops.

Replace your plugs.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
